Zero Tolerance Rating Guideline for Game Reports

Zero Tolerance violations by coaches and/or spectators need to be reported by the match referees in each of their referee game reports according to a sliding scale of 0 to 3 where 0 = no ZT up to 3 = most severe ZT violation. LAW #5 Referees/Refereeing Systems/Ejections/Game Report is in effect. A Guide for the referee's ZT numerical report follows, and specific comments and descriptions are strongly encouraged:
